Inhaltsangabe

Influential popular philosopher Roman Krznaric argues our brains are wired for social connection: empathy is at the heart of who we are. It's an essential, transforming quality we must develop for the 21st century.

Roman Krznaric is a social philosopher whose books, including The Good Ancestor, Empathy, The Wonderbox and How to Find Fulfilling Work, have been published in more than twenty-five languages. He is Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University's Centre for Eudaimonia and Human Flourishing and founder of the world's first Empathy Museum.

Roman has been named by the Observer as one of Britain's leading popular philosophers. His TED talk 'How to be a good ancestor' has been viewed over 1.5 million times. His writings have been widely influential amongst political and ecological campaigners, education reformers, social entrepreneurs and designers. He is an acclaimed public speaker, and his talks and workshops have taken him from a London prison to Google's headquarters in California.

After growing up in Sydney and Hong Kong, he studied at the universities of Oxford, London and Essex, where he gained his PhD in political sociology.
